The second edition of Understanding Fundamentalism provides a
compelling and up to date picture of religious reactions against
the modern secular world. Comparing Christian, Islamic, and Jewish
fundamentalist movements, anthropologist Richard Antoun shows how
all three share common characteristics. In each tradition,
fundamentalists seek purity in an impure world, attempt to make the
ancient past relevant to their contemporary situation, look to move
religion out of the worship center and into every aspect of life,
and actively struggle against the aspects of the modern world they
regard as evil. The new edition addresses fundamentalism in the
post-9/11 world, transnational religion, and the impact of
religious migration on Afghanistan and Western Europe. A glossary
and Antoun's readable style make the concepts readily accessible
for beginning students. For classes in religious studies,
anthropology, or sociology of religion, Understanding
Fundamentalism brings a balanced introduction to these
often-misunderstood religious activists.
